    You won't find a workout like that at Planet Fitness.

    😉 they last a long time like that when you don't put them through the paces (and that's a good thing) Back with the dirt bikes..... if you didn't have a Bel Moto 3, you weren't cool.

    Those engines (the 60 degree gassers) had some impresive torque numbers and were a simple design. I was referring to that engine when I was in school in the sense they were giving them away back at that point. The only popular thing i remember being in that shop was a 238 Detroit and a John Deere 6 cylinder. Everything else was obsolete. (nobody was donating anything newer or sought after) Still back then everything was still simple and in general the same mechanics even if one make was better than the other.

    Be interesting to see the reaction to that clown trying that at a mosque. Not just for one reason either.

    Perhaps, but there's a story there that he needs to get out to the public, because he IS a journalist.

    Most of those cab overs at the time never had a second life and the torch found them pretty quick when they were done. Not many still around. When I was in VoTech there was a ToroFlow in the shop on a stand. I'm not totally sure, but I think it was a V8. That woulda been close to 1980 and it was donated back then. There wasn't Big Cams or anything like that, so I'm guessing they were kinda useless back then even.

    Maybe he can do some investigative reporting on prison a$$ rape. I mean after all he is a world class journalist always searching for truth and real facts.

    IDK those 60 degree big V 6s were popular. Even in the early '70s. At that time I had no idea what they were, but they had a distinctive sound and most of those old cab overs you'd see it hanging out if you looked under the cab from behind.

    Used to be a company named Lund that made visors. F Model one is gonna be hard to find in 2026.

    Lucky for her Fetterman was there to take hold of that no goodnick with the salad dressing. Seriously ? if some wacko squirted something on me, I think I'd be a little more concerned about what it was......unless I already knew it was basically harmless. I'd say " what does she think ? she's Teddy Roosevelt getting shot in the speech ?" but I doubt she even knows who Teddy Roosevelt was.....or he was shot at while making a speech.Truly a great American she is.

    There's a couple different ones. Older ones had an adaptor that linked the walking beam end to the housing with a bushing inside of it. Newer ones had a bigger bushing with a large bolt that went through the center of the bushing. Those Nuways have that bushing located about midway through the trailing arm where it attaches to the housing. The two types interchange on the Hendrickson. I remember going to the smaller ones with the the adaptors instead of taking wheel ends all apart to get the bolts in and out. I'm thinking the big style is the ones that are like the Nuway.

    That switch at the end of the cable almost looks like something you'd find on engine brake controls .

    I could be wrong, but I think the bushing in the Nuway is the same as the bushing in some of the Hendrickson walking beams. Seems it might be the same adaptor.

    I think that guy in the middle is an Amazon Prime driver.

    She reads that, you'll never see again to confirm it.

    They're a sight to see at first. When they expand out it takes a little getting used to seeing them. Most of the Thruway and Interstates in New York have gates on the on ramps (sorta like railroad crossing gates) to stop traffic from entering in extreme conditions while they're at it cleaning up.

    I've never seen one with cast housings. Did your truck have Mack rears ?
  19. Mark T
    Brocky, you should see the tow plows in New York now. One truck one pass both lanes plowed and spread on the Interstate and Thruway.
  20. Mark T
    I saw one Chalmbers with Mack housings and rears. I think it was a really nice job by a welder/fabricator.
  21. Mark T
    There's adaptors to bolt on cast housings that go where the spring end buckets go that accommodate Hendrickson walking beam ends.

    Perhaps, and you never heard of crowds gathering at Home Depot when they rounded up 30 or so guys at a clip (without incident) that were there trying to get a days work. No one ever really had a problem with that. There's blame to be laid at a lot of feet in all this chaos. Media is one of the biggest instigators .

    For a while I was hearing commercials on the radio for "Swish Funding" I thought maybe Swish got into the finance business.

    Eh.......if that chick had anything going for her, she woulda been on Epstein's Island. Nobody wanted her there either
